They are eager to explore activities and talk with confidence to staff and other children. Children relish the opportunities to practise their physical skills in well-planned games. They show resilience as they try to make a toy plate spin on a stick. When they succeed, they share their pride with others, demonstrating good understanding and eloquence. Staff devise creative games, pretending to have magic powers that enthral children. Children have to be quiet, listen and guess. At the appropriate time, they call out their ideas with great self-confidence. The well-planned environment actively encourages children to make choices. Some children enjoy craft, drawing, card games and marble runs. Others practise sums from school. All are active and happy.
